Stoic UFC Heavyweight Slams Conor McGregor: “Hate When There’s Loads of Talk and Nothing Happens”

The British MMA fighter, Tom Aspinall, recently spoke with ‘The Sports Betting Community’. He spoke passionately about his life, his aspirations for the future, and his fellow UFC competitors. The interview’s most discussed part was his remark regarding Conor McGregor. The news of Aspinall’s opinion clearly upset Conor’s supporters. Aspinall is one of the UFC’s up-and-coming superstars; of his fifteen fights, he has triumphed in twelve of them. He won eight fights by knockout and four by submission, for a 100 percent finishing rate. Aspinall was also awarded the ‘Performance of the Night’ multiple times. Although he clearly has a large following, his most recent remarks on McGregor’s comeback are rather disheartening to many.

Tom ‘Two Beers’ Aspinall explains his reasons for having a negative opinion of the notorious. He says, “Only he knows if he’s got anything left to give, it does not really bother me. I liked Conor when he was really good. I just don’t like the sh*t talking ” The Heavyweight Champion is frank about his lack of optimism for Conor McGregor’s comeback to the octagon.

In the conversation, Aspinall was open and honest about the profound mental and physical effects of his injuries. When he faced off against Curtis Blaydes at UFC Fight Night 208, he suffered a serious right knee injury. He was forced to leave the cage by the experience, and it even caused him to consider retiring. Aspinall went on to explain why he isn’t prepared to give up.

Aspinall himself is currently looking forward to his return to the cage more than anybody else, but only until he is physically fit. The champion is sick of his previous injuries, which make him less confident and negatively impact his battles.

Aspinall is adamant about breaking free from these constraints, and only then is he prepared to continue his profession. When it comes to his fellow fighters, he lacks the optimism he has about his impending return. Other than Conor, he was asked about his thoughts on Jon Jones‘ comeback. He stated that it had already been three years since the talk started. Before both of their careers come to an end, he admits that he loves to battle with him. Tom believes that Jones should now actually engage in a fight instead of simply talking about it and boring his audience. However, many people were more outraged by his lack of emotion about McGregor’s return than Jon Jones.

It’s already been one year since ‘the notorious’ showed his wild presence in the octagon. All his fans and his fellow fighters are eagerly awaiting the return of the most celebrated superstar of MMA. It was at this time that Aspinall made his bitter remark about his return.
